Vivitrol, Revia, Suboxone and opiates

Hello,

We're trying to develop a good process for handling patients who are struggling with an opiate addiction and are on oral or injectable naloxone or Suboxone therapy. Specifically, how do we identify these patients? How do we treat them where they are under our care? How do we avoid discharging them on opiates?

Have any of you addressed this issue? Can you share your processes?

Thank you,
Dan
